Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] Christ - incarnate God (Judy)

[Lance Muir]

I'm puzzled by your _expression_, Judy 'what about Jesus made Him divine'. It is not as if he were a man to whom a special endowment were added or superimposed, 'making' him God. He is divine because he is God the Son who has existed from eternity, of one nature with the Father and Spirit, come AS A human being. Your question is like asking what makes God God. He ain't Clark Kent, Judy who needs only to remove his robe thus revealing his Superman garb.    ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 13, 2006 10:49 Subject: Re: Fw: [TruthTalk] Christ - incarnate God (Judy) Dean and Lance, What exactly was it about jesus that made him divine?

Albert Barns wrote: Joh 3:34 - Whom God hath sent - The Messiah. Speaketh the words of God - The truth, or commands of God. For God giveth not the Spirit - The Spirit of God. Though Jesus was God as well as man, yet, as Mediator, God anointed him, or endowed him with the influences of his Spirit, so as to be completely qualified for his great work. By measure - Not in a small degree, but fully, completely. The prophets were inspired on particular occasions to deliver special messages. The Messiah was continually filled with the Spirit of God.
